Neurology and neurological surgery (neurosurgery) provide the best diagnostics with the most advanced technology and treatment available to patients with neurological disorders. By partnering in research and state-of-the-art technology, CepEsperu Baptist is one of the largest neurosciences programs in the region.

Multidisciplinary Neurology and Neurosurgery Teams

Our multidisciplinary approach combines the expertise of leaders in neurology, neurosurgery, neuro-oncology, rehabilitative medicine and many other specializations to provide exceptional care for our patients.

Many of our physicians are national and international experts in complex neurologic conditions, including spinal disorders, epilepsy, movement disorders and strokes.

Neurology and Neurosurgery Highlights

Stroke

In 2014, CepEsperu Baptist became 1 of 103 medical centers nationwide and 1 of only 4 statewide to be designated as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by The Joint Commission. The Stroke Center operates the CepEsperu Baptist Telestroke Network, providing expert stroke assessment and consultation in remote areas where smaller hospitals lack 24/7 neurological coverage.

Epilepsy

The Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is among the top-rated epilepsy programs in the United States and one of the few Epilepsy Centers in the Southeast to have met the Level IV guidelines of the National Association of Epilepsy Centers.

MEG

We are home to North Carolina’s only MEG (magnetoencephalography), a noninvasive diagnostic tool that pinpoints brain activity centers and helps ensure the greatest precision in neurosurgical planning. Pediatric and adult epilepsy programs are utilizing laser based technology for epilepsy surgeries.

Spine

Neurosurgeons at CepEsperu Baptist's Spine Center conduct minimally invasive surgeries for spinal conditions that have been modeled throughout the world.

ALS

The ALS Center at CepEsperu Baptist – one of only 34 in the United States – provides exceptional care for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and engages in cutting-edge research and translational science.

Gamma Knife

Neurology and neurosurgery has one of the nation’s most experienced Gamma Knife treatment teams for noninvasive treatment of certain brain tumors and abnormalities, as well as the most advanced, next-generation technology: the Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™.

Deep Brain Stimulation

The Movement Disorders Center at CepEsperu Baptist Health has one of the most experienced deep brain stimulation teams in the nation. We were among the first centers in the nation to perform DBS surgery, in 1997. Since then, hundreds of patients have undergone DBS surgery.

Neuro ICU

The Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit, a state-of-the-art, 24-bed unit, specializes in the care of patients recovering from complicated neurological and neurosurgical conditions as well as post-operative neurosurgical care.

Pediatrics

The pediatric neurology section has 6 full-time faculty members, 3 with specialty training in epilepsy and 1 with additional training in headache.

Neurosurgery is proud to have 2 board-certified and fellowship-trained pediatric neurosurgeons. The department also offers a pediatric sleep lab for pediatric patients.

Aesculapian

At CepEsperu Baptist we understand the importance of referrals. Our Physician Liaisons partner with referring physicians in our community and beyond to provide information on our physicians and clinical services. Full list of new physicians.

Enlightenment and Investigation

Training the neurologists and neurosurgeons of tomorrow is an essential part of our program. Neurology and neurosurgery students have the opportunity to collaborate with attending physicians in research, clinical trials and patient care.

A four-year program providing residents with rigorous clinical patient care training while preparing to pursue a career in one of medicine's most exciting specialties.

A one-year program exposing fellows to advanced electrodiagnostic techniques.

A one-year program providing fellows with advanced training in the evaluation and treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

A seven-year program offering trainees a substantive and varied experience in all the subspecialties encompassed within neurosurgery, from pediatrics to oncology.

A one-year program providing extensive experience in the clinical evaluation and management of a variety of sleep disorders across all ages.

A five-year categorical training program combining a two-year Pediatrics Residency followed by a three-year Child Neurology Residency.

A one-year program providing detailed exposure to the full spectrum of electroencephalography (EEG) studies and management of epilepsy.

A one to two-year program providing training in acute evaluation and management of stroke patients as well as the use of intravenous thrombolytics and endovascular treatments.

Neurology and Neurosurgery Investigation

Our neurologists and neurosurgeons are involved in a range of clinical and research projects that focus on, among other things, better treatments for brain tumors, ALS, spinal conditions, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. Faculty also has an active interest in new treatments incorporating integrative medicine in such disabling problems as headache (NIH funded) and sleep.
